PARIS, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- A French officer-in-training listed as AWOL by Paris figures among the list of suspects in Washington-area sniper attacks that have targeted a dozen people to date. France's RTL radio station identified the officer as a 25-year-old student from the former Yugoslavia.

What's THE name of this "Yugoslav" anyway? Also, in order to attend French military academy, someone has to be FRENCH citizen. He is FRENCH, and attributing his alleged or implied misdeeds to his ethnic background is RACISM and against the law. I do hope that he will sue the pants off those media creeps

When there is good news, it is attributed to Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia or France.

When there is a bad news, it is atributed to "Yugoslavia".

technicaly, everyone who was born in the territory of Former Yugoslavia (i.e. Slovenia, Croatia,Bosnia, Serbia, Macwedonia) is of "Yugoslav origin".

Including Albanian heroin dealers, Bosnian Muslim human cargo traffickers, Croatian weapons dealers are all of "Yugoslav origin" if born before 1991 .

Germans would say "Austrians would like to make an impression that Hitler was German and Bach and Bethoven were Austrians".

another example of spin.

>>>>>The story notes that this man is from the "former Yugoslavia" which certainly encompasses Bosnia<<<

Racial profiling? Yeah right.Al-Qaida already has ample supply of tall, white, blond Muslims blending seamlessly into American society. Brought into U.S. on taxpayer's expense.

ERR- they can shoot well...(

[anymouse]

Bosnian member of al Qaeda I bet. If so he could be working with a local DC sleeper cell to do the driving and planning. That might explain the sophistication of the 10 attacks.

[NativeNewYorker]

Makes sense.

BTW, is the Yugo angle being mentioned anywhere mainstream yet?

"What's THE name of this "Yugoslav" anyway?"

If they released his name and some photos, then the issue of whether he is the sniper (or one of the snipers) or not could probably be resolved more quickly.

If it has been him doing the shootings, and he manages to strike again before the French give descriptive identifying evidence - which they claim they have - then couldn't they be faulted? What is the purpose of keeping people in the dark, when his discovery could probably clear up if he's involved or not, and could stop future attacks? This report is more sensationalism than genuine help.

Ad in military surplus magazine. "For sale, fine French army rifles in excellent condition. Never fired, only dropped once."

If the perps do not get caught soon, terrors cells all over North America are gonna start adopting this method and the body count is gonna go thru the roof. It's going to spread FAST. This proven method will spread. NYC and Miami will be next.

This is not some NUT NRA member. Which is what the media want it to be. The feds think we will panic like sheep if we are told it's terrorist.

The media is pumping the lone "angry white male" gunman to re-energise the anti gun movement. The liberals love this lost cause SO MUCH that they will lose every seat in the Nation for it. Election time is near and the Dems don't have an issue.

D.C. Police and F.B.I. are avoiding giving a description of the perp because "he is an Islamo-fasist terrorist of mid east descent and do not want the heat from liberals for PROFILING.

A pickup truck allows you to hide and shoot in the prone position. The prone position is also the most stable position to shoot in this situation.

Panel or box trucks draw to much attention from the cops. At this point the cops are searching ALL of these vehicals!!

If you want to throw off the cops, what better way to go thru a road block than to have a PICKUP TRUCK with painting, or landscaping equipment under a black tarp in the back with a handy place to hide under.

The coyotes that smuggle illegal aliens across the border use this trick. DC and local area police are not on to this one! This ain't San Diego!

If the cops are looking for a van type WORK vehical and IF I'm hinding under a tarp, I'm gonna get waved thru. The cops want the area cleared as soon as possible.

This is my theory

#1 There are at least 2 moslems working together.(simple deduction: Occums Razor, we are at war)

#2 A shooter is laying in the the prone shooting position in the back of a covered pick up truck. Shooting thru a peephole in the tailgate.

#3 The other guy is the calm getaway driver and lookout. It is too difficult to concentrate on the target AND look out for your self at the same time. The trigger man concentrates on the "long distance". The driver/watcher concentrates on the "immediate area".

#4 They always park the truck with the bed facing the target. Its not camper type cover, that would draw attention from the cops. They are looking for a van.

#5 The lookout gets out of the vehicle and not only watches the surrounding area. But tells the shooter when its clear to pull the trigger via cell phone.

#6 The bed of the truck has a flat canopy. It is well insulated to keep the sound at a mininum. The direction of the suppressed sound is difficult to pinpoint.

#7 After the shoot, the driver calmly goes back to the truck and obeying the all traffic laws drive away while listening to the police chatter on scanners. They may even have a team to hand off the weapons to in another vehical.

#8 They might even be blond haired blue eyed moslems from Bosnia

explanation: This is how I would do it, if I were a bad guy

How this is going to end:

I believe that there is a terriorst cell bickering among themselves weather to keep this a "strickly" religous jihad or make some money out of this deal.

The note was left near the scene of the last shooting with out the knowledge of ALL the perps imvolved. There may be 4 or more.

The 1 or 2 indeviduals who want to make some money out of this sniping are going to get the WHOLE terriorist cell busted out of greed and stupidity.

This is going to be a comedy as soon as it pans out. Thats why every one is confused at this piont and media speculation is rampant.

The phone number on the note was for that phone booth the cops staked out and busted the nitwits.

Maybe these 2 guys were the greedy ones or the 2 left in the dark by the greedy ones.

Man this is getting interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just in this UPI article so far.

Most of the lamestream media probably hasn't clued into the relivence of this "French" AWOL sniper connection to the DC area killings.

If the guy was headed to Chicago, he could have met up with members of a Chicago al Qaeda sleeper cell and drove to DC. Would be good to timeline when the "French" sniper entered the US presumeably in Chicago in respect to when the first sniper activity started in DC.

I don't care where he's from...John Walker Lindh is from CA...I only care what his religion is...

[Revolting cat!]

Dude, Hollywood is salivating at this story. Let's see, award winning actor O.J. Simpson would be cast as Chief Moose, Martin Sheen (who else) as POTUS, Julia Roberts as a PhD scientist who traces the bullets to France, Wynona Ryder as the sniper's romantic interest who gave him the boot. Anyone else?

[old school]

Racism is against the law???

[putupon]

French AWOL Sniper Suspect

It ought to be easy to sniff this guy out.

[smokegenerator]

barbara streisand as the trampy second girlfriend.

[Revolting cat!]

Harry Belafonte in dual role as Colin Powell and in drag as Condi Rice!

[txhurl]

He has a priveleged background: his ecole is hyper-exclusive.

His family's been looking for him since...August? It would be nice to have data to disqualify this guy as he could probably look, walk and quack like a duck real easily.

All we can do is wait and see.

What fun would that be?

Look around - we're people of rash judgement and imagination, not investigative thinkers.

[Hoplite]

And if you rearrange the letters in his name you get "calving mode" - Aye carumba! Time to have a cow, man!
